I absolutely LOVE to label my organizing systems around the house. If you saw my home tour video, you know I label like crazy. In this video, I'll show you the exact label maker I use (Brother P-touch 1880) and have been using for 4-5 years. I also show you my favorite label tapes (colors, fonts, sizes, and shapes). Are you label maker fanatic? Do you have a label maker review? Are there any super secret labeling tricks that you do? If so, create a video response or leave a comment below.

[@105mteso]

Excellent illustration of the different fonts and styles, however, I need to know how to use the label maker. You may want to create another video demonstrating the process to make the labels. Off topic, your dog is cute. Thanks.

[@avavril020]

Hey Alejandra, I just bought this label maker and was wondering if you could re-make this video with a more in detail approach to how to use it and the different sizes of tape etc

[@Germatti13489]

Exactly

[@stefanyliberto5131]

Can you do a video about how to use the label maker

[@casper1240]

i had the same problem nothing at all about how to actually use it

[@ozzielewis4579]

How do you use the machine

[@MissRuelland]

She takes her personal time to share her tips with us, there is no need to be a jerk.

[@christinelanmon2852]

MissRuelland Exactly! So many rude and arrogant people on here. Seriously, grow up!

[@brielliott04]

8 years later and this is still the best label maker ever!! Oh, and Mojo is adorable 😊

[@DoItOnaDime]

Awwww...congrats, Alejandra! Mojo is ADORABLE! I hope she is doing well with potty training...it's a process but worth it! Thanks for sharing this video by the way...I'm in the market for a label maker.

[@briannab5296]

glad you mentioned how expensive the different tapes are - definitely helped me make my decision. . . . MoJo is abeautiful heart-melter.

[@j3ngel]

those "gaps" you refer to in the beginning and end is the margin and is adjustable to 1", 1/2" and 1/6". label supported sizes is 3.5, 6, 9, 12, and 18mm

[@trptjonjon]

Hi Alejandra, Thanks for the great advice! I love your videos! I found a way to change the sides of your label so you don't get extra space on each side! Press the function button and find margin-> from there you have 3 options: Full - 1" on each side Half - 1/2" on each side Narrow - 1/6"on each side I always use the narrow setting and it saves a lot of tape!

[@skinnymeleigh]

I have the brother PT-H105 and have found that you can get tapes from eBay or Amazon that aren't genuine brother ones for a fraction of the cost and work just as well. Which is great for me as we've just moved house and have a ton of labelling to do!

[@anNaSoR911]

11:19 "NO! No, no, no. This is mommy's favorite toy." lol XD

[@diannaweaver7624]

I would love to see a video on how to set the fonts. This wasn't helpful for me.

[@SleeplessinOC]

oh my gosh, Mojo is just adorable!! Please post more videos of him!

[@lamisaali4918]

Alejandra! I love your organizing tips so much. They've helped me a lot and my mom and I have decided to re-organize our WHOLE house next summer. This summer we didn't have much time because we had a lot of guests and family over. My dad and I have the same label-maker as you. Idk I just felt like saying that because I love your tips so much and it makes me so happy? Anyways, don't let any of the hate get to you. Keep up the organization (:.

[@DM-fj7mk]

I actually have this same label maker, and it works great!!! I was hoping she would talk more about the frames, but other than that, great video.

[@rolandparis3539]

I just got the PT 1880 & the instructions are very small and don't show you how to use the product. Would you make a video that actually shows the steps from beginning to end & explains the keys? Ruth

[@avavril020]

Same here. I got it in Costco for $27, and have no idea where to even begin. I need help. I tried searching here on YT for videos for beginners but no luck

[@katy8061]

[@g-ramosida8766]

This is was nice but I wished you had demonstrated how to exactly use the label maker itself. If you could please film one to share on here it would be more helpful. Thanks!! And by the way, been watching your videos for a very long time and I love them. Great job!!

[@safepethaven]

Most models of Brother labelers are programmable to use less tape [leaders or headers/footers]; check your manual for how to set the features for tape-sparing functions.

[@TheWildmanjr]

I use it to label all my test leads and on my toolbox drawers. PS for all the people asking how to use it; there is a little book that comes with the label that tells you

[@alysejohnson3432]

OMG MOJO IS SO CUTE CONGRATS I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL WITH THE DOG !!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛💛💛💚💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙💙💜💜

[@meirs6826]

[@natashanguyen6781]

Just picked up my first labeller the Dymo Letratag handheld is on sale for $20 at Staples! Please make a video showing how you organize your dog stuff Alejandra!!

[@mayaschroeder5208]

Also, can you make a video on how to work it?

[@myopinion2000]

I love Mojo! He's so adorable. I enjoy your channel so much, I'm needing so much help with my office I don't even know where to begin. Your house is an inspiration, I'm hoping I can get mine to look like that some day!!! Thanks for your videos.

[@filomenamourinho]

Mojo is adorable! I love her! Potty training is easy - do you know how we trained Poppy? We use those square diapers (40cmx40cm) that are used when you are changing a baby, to avoid messing the bed or changing table - do you know what they are. I saw them at the vet, when she was weighing Poppy, so she wouldn't feel the cold of the scale and I had a Aha moment. We didn't punish her when she did it somewhere else BUT we congratulated her anytime she did it on the diaper.

[@siribug4567]

Mojo is absolutely adorable!! I've seen the occasional miniature poodles in the area (none of them red, though) and smile with delight at how cute they are. Someday this cat lover will get a mini poodle!

[@wigfallgloria]

I just bought the PT- 600 at Office Depot it's awesome and you can change the gap margins in the beginning and the end and they match competitors prices. I brought the label making tape 1/2" 12mm for $10.50 each.

[@Isleskye]

The gap or leading edge at beginning and end of ones label can be reduced with the MARGIN function built into several Brother label makers. As of 3rd week Jan 2013 Office Depot or Staples ( sorry cant remember which) is selling the decorative white on pastel tapes 3 for $30 while Michaels had them half price. Length is only 16.5 feet on most. Your puppy is adorable.

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

I had a poodle growing up. She was a small white one and her name was Fifi! She was so smart and sweet! I had even put her in some dog shows. I wish I had a photo of her still but I dont it was so long ago. Our last dog who lived to be almost 20yrs old, Maybell was poodle and chihuahua mixed. She was so pretty and very smart and a great dog! Now I have a chihuahua minpin. Her name is Ella, I adopted her about a year ago. She is 7yrs old and very loyal to me! She sticks to me like glue! She's very sweet and very smart too! I just love her so much except for the shedding!! I never knew chihuahuas shed like that! It's bad on my allergies just glad we don't have carpet or it would really be hard on me! Anyway.. I have been wanting a planner for months now and have been pricing many of them out! I think I have finally made a decision on getting the "Brother P-Touch PT-90 Personal Label Maker" from Amazon $20.88 with FREE Shipping!This has been the best deal I have found so far so I think I will get this one!

[@earthboundmisfit79]

Picked up a used PT-1290 with a 1/4" tape cartridge that was 2/3 full at a thrift store for $4. Loving it and looking forward to trying different tapes. :)

[@111route]

Sooo cute dog. I had one for 15 years looked very similar to the one you showed the pic of. Loved her to bits.

[@EEN63]

I love a label maker!!! And that Mojo is darling!!!! What a cutie-patutie!!! Congratulations on becoming a puppy mommy! Mojo with bring such joy to you!

[@tweety8990]

Hi Alejandra, Your new puppy is adorable! no poodles here, have two yorkies they don't shed. I just bought my first label maker. I'ts not as fancy as yours but I like it because I have pink on black very cool! I love all your videos

[@MsJenny813]

Great video....my poodle looks just like Prince, except he's not groomed all the time...lol =) They really are the most obedient dogs. They want nothing more than to please their owner.

[@johnshannonmossbarger9451]

For anyone that likes to use the different color labels, you can find a "knock off" brand that is compatible with this label maker or even about any others on Amazon & save so much on label tape.

[@ArtFReaK94xx]

This is crazy but I need to organize my to-do lists.. As well as my entire house! I write so many things down and then all my things pile up into a huge shuffle. I'm hoping some day to be as organized as you ^_^ Thanks for your channel. I love it!

[@1trucxhondamov589]

I was trying to learn the machines functions. Don't mean to be rude, but girl you are blessed, you got it! GR8 VID!😀

[@liveforHIM75]

This is absolutely my favorite "toy" too. I LOVE my label maker and actually have given it out as a birthday or bridal shower gift (to people I knew would enjoy it). Everyone I gave it too loved it and told me they were surprised how much they actually used it. BTW, my Costco sells the tape cartridges but only the basic black font on white (which is fne with me because that's the one I use the most).

[@dawnt5587]

Would you still recommend the 1880 today or do you have another model you like better?

[@lollychips01]

HAY! THE POODLE IS ADORABLE!

[@memepapa2956]

I was wanting to know how to use!!! Please do a video on how to make labels!!!!!!!

[@ceaxrool87]

OH MY GOD THE DOG AT THE END IS REALLY CUTEEEE! SUCH A CUTIE PIEE 😍😍

[@bencataldi1987]

How about how to use the damn thing. DUMB

[@boyluck2]

Ugh, HOW DO YOU USE IT?! JEEZE.

[@mkennedy6405]

Awww Mojo is so cute!!!!

[@damarisnievesmontalvo985]

good tip about printing single words all at once because the tape can get expensive. Thank you!

[@onediafields4606]

ok Alejandra. I am way over the budget I meant to spend. But I must have this label maker like 5 years ago already! which means I can only spend $25.00 the month of April. Thank you so much once again for all the videos!

[@blrr5blrr]

Ha haa that pooch did not know what it was in for, at the time ! Iv seen your pet organizing video ! I knew the dog wouldn't escape being organized hahaaaa ! Love it !

[@cesarebachelli]

I just bought dymo label maker. Finished labelling my laundry baskets :) followed your tips, bought the yellow paper. Thanks

[@6of15]

There is also a "Chain Print" option, which I'm sure can be found on any of the Brother label makers.

[@rolandzapata8696]

In my opinion, this is more an endorsement of the label maker and different fonts/tapes. What about an actual tutorial from unpacking the device to step by step details?

[@shacur145]

I have the Brother pt 1950 which is almost identical to yours!!!! I LOVE IT!! I've had it for about two years and still havent used all the different fonts and frames. Now Im curious to try some new labels. Also have smaller DYMO Letratag for quick labeling...daughters lunch bag for school or field trips or taking covered dish for party or get-together. LOVE THEM BOTH!!!! Thanks for sharing your tricks of the trade!

[@christoferbronnenberg8365]

Can you do a Video on how to use the brothers P -TOUCH TZ label maker.

[@slesseps]

Mojo is so cute!

[@pkayVIP]

It's HELSINKI - like the name of the capital of Finland. Just so you know.

[@sadiedesimone5558]

P.Kay 🙄

[@cmorrow6822]

you need to put a label on Mojo, LOL. she's adorable. I have a Bichon Frise. I just got mine at BJ's wholesale for $30. I have no clue how to work this thing

[@SillyConeBaby]

MoJo is gorgeous

[@pinkcotton94]

I use Dymo and gave my Brother to my cousin just because Dymo has nicer border designs XD hehe~ and i do exactly what you do! Print everything in caps, cut off the extra space sometimes and print all separate words in once to save space!! ^.^ and i feel like hugging your Poodle~~ :3

[@kaylatorres898]

Can you do a video on how to use it or something because i thought you were going to show how to use it . Not in a mean way

[@BriTheCrafter]

OMFG... Mojo is so adorable! I died when I saw it's eyes!!

[@kathyms.]

Mojo is beautiful !!!

[@IAMSatisfied]

If you print one label at a time, then yes, you are correct. I've owned Dymo label-makers, & they're no different in the end margin waste, but much more limited in the overall functionality & use of the full width of the tape (they have narrow type that uses slightly over 1/2 the tape width. However, if you can get your text together & enter a string of several labels, then print all at one time, the starting margin waste is minimized. Setting your margins for "narrow" will save tape as well.

[@Yvonneb_]

I love your videos, your label maker and now your dog ;-D, Your dog is so laid back ours is a crazy blonde staffy, we have lots of laughs with her.x

[@miahleissa9599]

Your baby is adorable! :) and ty for the information... am looking for a label-maker! ;)

[@Barfo919]

Great stuff EXACTLY what I was looking for! Nothing beats the P touch by Brother

[@miadan1234]

+Dan Pelletier sarcasm is the greatest form of wit

[@brnize1969]

MOJO is too darn cute!

[@safepethaven]

look up the online manual at the Brother website, for your particular model of labeler. Search 'troubleshooting'. Also remember that NOT ALL label cassettes are compatible with every model of label machines.

[@albertsantiago6305]

She so adorable precious little angel 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

[@SDandRnRoll]

Thumbs up for Mojo. Good video too.

[@LottieSue]

Good to know about the wasted inches. I'm comparing this to the Epson with no waste - those cartridges are expensive.

[@scottm9707]

you didn't show " how to use it"

[@sharonlee68]

I have the pink brother p-touch 128AF now I'm off to look for pink tape lol. I love my label maker. And also love your puppies name my mom's name is Joyce she went by the name Jo Jo and my dad's name is Moe so I often use the name Mojo as user names on sites.

[@kimberlygriffin651]

That's great on color options, but how do I use it? Maybe a demo of at least one phrase and cutting it and applying somewhere. Or perhaps the different places you use your labels by showing us.

[@fructusdea1974]

Doitonadime did a video on the Epson, and said to her knowledge, that's the only brand that doesn't leave the extra wasted tape :) love your vids! and so does my home!! :D

[@Mraknup]

Wonderful presentation , thank you I wish you happy week

[@Kaliprepper]

This is so awesome! I have three miniature poodle here! Pet organization would definitely be welcome!

[@dannypeterson3449]

I love MOJO cutest doggy ever!!!!

[@Kori2706]

The end of the video is so cute, so funny! :-D Anyway, I have a Dymo Label Manager 120P. It's ok to start, but I can only use 9 an 12 mm tapes. But the good thing is I have blue tapes! White on blue, and blue on clear. And I love blue!

[@chmcdonald1000]

Thanks for the label tips and Mojo is a cutie!

[@jessicachesnut]

i have the pt 1880 and love it. i got mine from sam's lub for less then 30 and they also sell the tape 3 for i think 25. but it is a good product.

[@lucyabsher7521]

Can/did you make a video on how to make some

[@compassionateheart27]

Can you do a vid on how to use it & print it out in the way you also explained it in this vid. I got the same exact label as ur's only mine was cheaper cos I bought it from costco. Thanks

[@kaRena12]

Just purchased my first labeller today at Staples..Brother PT-2030AD..On sale for 35.00...Can't wait to use it!! Thank you for all the great ideas! :)

[@guiapsico]

I had a poodle...I loved him :( He died a couple years ago..he's name was Pongo. Best dog ever!

[@raiders753334]

My Mini Poodle was 3 months old in March of 2012 also. Where did you get Mojo? I wonder if they are from the same litter? Love your videos. Obsessed!!!!

[@kashabaxter2560]

what about howto use the darn thing

[@maxipoopsi]

kasha baxter

[@SoCraftastic516]

I didn't know u had the same label maker as me till now!!!! I love it too!!!!!

[@Arobinsc]

Love the Brother. Really want black on orange.

[@makeuplover79]

I got it today from cost o and love it. Thx for your videos.

[@raysofgreys]

Never mind my question on which label maker you use, lol. Didn't know you had made a video on it. Thanks!

[@thedapperpotato427]

Mojo is so cute! Congrats!

[@Prettyfantacy]

Do a video on how to operate the label maker please

[@safepethaven]

Also, consult your operator's manual [download from Brother's website for your specific model number] because if it is a model that can be programmed, there are ways to do settings that will be tape-sparing and produce smaller leader/ending margins. Not all models are programmable; mine is a PT1700 [many yrs old] and can be set to save label tape.

[@akr3985fan]

I found the Black on Yellow 12" @ Radio Shack it calls for Making Labels for Audio and Patch Cables but it works on Other things as Well and it Does stand out, That' a Pretty puppy my Aunt has a Poodle and my Sister in Law has 3 Yorkie's she had 4 but her Chance she called him was Called to puppy Heaven she down to 3 and she love them like her Kids. I forgot to Mention her and my Brother have a Beagle Very Audible but a very happy Pup @ heart..

[@Livsfitz]

I used to work at staples and each tape it like 20 bucks. Kinda expensive, especially if there's all that extra space that prints for no reason? That's 2 inches wasted per print

[@anorrell]

MisterLivs I

[@giulianameany5952]

If you can show how to use it a label makers for the novices like me it would be awesome

[@brotheroffice]

Great video! Thanks for showing your love of P-touch™.

[@TiffanyWestNyc]

Can we print in different sizes such as a circle shape etc?! I know this is old please respond

[@zooey572]

Puppy is too cute!

[@upanddown455]

Hi Alejandra, thank you for your guide on something as simple as this. I appreciate it and your other videos that I have been watching for the last week. I purchased my label maker yesterday at Staples. It is the Brother 2030. I believe that this is a more recent version of yours. Thanks again!

[@upanddown455]

Brother PT-2030

[@smcfadden62]

Newegg has the Brother Touch 20330 on sale for $31.99 until 6/14

[@marynunnally9411]

I really like the video, but I LOVE the puppy! I've had poodles most of my life, and one of them was also apricot in color. I don't know if you've owned one before, or if you know anything about them, but I just have to mention this to you. Some people don't clip their poodles, but its very important that you do. Their hair...not fur...mats easily, and it can make them very uncomfortable. Having matted hair can also cause them to "catch" things from the yard, like foxtails...very painful if they get into their ears, and that does happen quite frequently, if you're near dry grass. They also can get them in their nose. Just thinking about the times my babies had those foxtails makes me cringe...so painful....not to mention the expense of vet bills. Their hair can also grow and mat around their private parts, making elimination difficult. So please have your precious baby clipped as soon as she's old enough. Okay, now back to the video...loved it, and am going to follow your lead and get those binders tomorrow!

[@luvflowers1585]

AApricot poodles are so wonderful...smart, loyal, sensitive. Wishing you the very best with Mojo! M
